Taigen are making a full metal Panzer IV? I thought all Taigen tanks had plastic upper hullsRagnar wrote:Exactly my thought,beautiful looking and desirable but sorry to say I will pass on on this one for now,and look again at the Taigen full metal Panzer IV that’s suppose to be shipping this month.Woz wrote:It's not that it is a bad model it's just that for the price you'd expect it to be put together better and any problems fixed before they're sent to the customer.
Hoobens problem is that Heng Long are now producing much better tanks (with better electronics) at a much lower price. So the only people who are going to buy a Hooben are those few tankers who want something a bit rarer and are prepared to pay more on something that'll need fixing before it can be used.

Re: Hooben Elephant reviews
Ahh,yeh your right I got a bit carried away, actually the upper body is still plastic but with full metal lower body and complete running gear plus metal turret and I believe the main gun barrel.
At a price just slightly more than the RTR Ferdinand.
